Juke, Venus and Pearl announced by Verizon

The last three phones announced today by Verizon were the Samsung Juke, LG Venus and the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 smartphone. The first one that we already covered was the LG Voyager (VX10000).

The Samsung Juke is a music oriented swivel phone with mp3/wma/aac music format support, 2GB of internal memory and an iPod-like scroll wheel for navigation. Other features include a VGA camera, stereo Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP. Unfortunately, the Juke won't be able to access Verizon V CAST services because of its lack of 3G.

A more advanced handset, the LG Venus slider features a really interesting double display on the front. The upper half of the front side has a normal display, while the lower half is a touchscreen. The device also comes packed with a standard keypad, which is revealed when you slide the phone. A 2.0 megapixel camera with video capture is also on the list of features, together with a microSD slot for up to 8GB memory and mp3/wma/aac support.

I think the Verizon Voyager is absolutely going to take over the holiday craze in the last couple months of 2007. From what I've heard... it easily outdoes the Apple iPhone in terms of value. What do you think?

I want the red juke soooo bad... I can hardly stand it. As soon as my dad comes home I might get it. I'm a daddy's girl. For all those looking at the juke I've read alot of reviews trying to convince my mom and if you dont break your phones easy, dont use video, and love music, this is the phone for you. It's size is also a plus and my friend says it's actually easy to text on because of the button size and you can use one hand.

I bought my red Juke back in November (part of the Verizon deal that came with free bluetooth headphones). I love it. It's great for undercover texting (mainly applicable for highschoolers like myself). The lack of 3G doesn't bother me much because I can access the internet through my PSP, and I have a massive amount of music on my pc. I'm left handed and I don't really see what other left-handed people's problems are. I use it everyday with my left hand and it's no hassle at all. I ordered the phone in late November, received it on December 3rd, dropped it 5 times (including off of a moving truck), spilled water on it twice, and have woken up with it under my chest a plethora of times and it still works without flaw. With all of that harm, there's still hardly any noticeable dents or scratches, so its sturdiness is a definite plus. The sound quality is great, but not so much during calls. This doesn't bother me personally seeing as I'm a text-messenger predominantly. All-in-all the phone's awesome, go buy it. Done.
